Sorry guys for the lack of responses,  just got back from a 4 week vacay abroad.

This will be a super casz  gathering with Handlining friends hunting halls and strippers...

$10 MBF collection will be 7am or earlier, however, anyone that participates will be included for the 1st Place custom hand-craved Handline reel.

Any questions, give me a shout!

CA Regulations / Re: Nonlead Ammunition
« on: January 12, 2024, 06:45:22 PM »
If anyone has any suggestions for reliable lead-free 22lr let me know! I'm close to giving up and just getting a PCP for small game (as if I could justify the cost).

I dont believe Lead-free applies to rimfire caliber ammo... but I could be wrong....

Craftsmen's Corner / Re: Windsurfer mast for Hobie AI project...
« on: January 07, 2024, 01:48:02 PM »
However, the windsurfer mast seems to be slightly skinnier in diameter (1mm or less) than the official Hobie mast.


Windsurf mast are design to flex at the tip of the mast, to create a foil in the sail....

Never fished hand line....So who has handline spools for sale?


Just found spool authentic handline spools: $25 for the 8", $23 for the 7".

This sounds fun!  I've been considering getting a handline reel for sabiki work anyway - always looking for a better solution for catching live bait.  Seems like this would really well for that. 

Do you use a round spool type or the longer, stick type?  Hopefully that description makes sense, haha.

Whats the %of people who catch halibut/striper sometimes I struggle with a $400 reel/rod combo and live bait/sex herring troll :smt044

Handlining any species is a blast!! and yes, we've caught strippers and butts in the bay with them too... Handlining for Lings is f'ng wild; which we used to due the day before Albion Tournys...

Probably quite a rush, fishing one of those deep for something big and toothy like a ling!

Yup! Ask Yakhopper; he heard me scream'n and laughing, and we were on opposite side of the Albion cove!

And yes, loss ratio is a lot high on larger species...

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / Re: 2018 Revo - Garmin Sonar Upgrade
« on: January 16, 2021, 08:23:09 PM »
My googlefu indicates that your transducer has side scan capabilities- I wonder how that mounting will affect side scan? I think the berlypro covers are the way they are to better facilitate sidescan.

Will side scan help with rockfishing, salmon, halibut and trout? I dont need it....

Gearing Up and Rigging Up / 2018 Revo - Garmin Sonar Upgrade
« on: December 12, 2020, 02:42:24 PM »
Have been a Garmin fan , but with the Lowrance Ready sonar well, i thought i had little choice but to use a Lowrance, and I did thanks to a good friend's  gift.

But with the recent Black Friday deals, purchased a Garmin 9" GPSEcho at a sweet deal...thanks Santa!

The challenge was to figure out how to install the Garmin transducer in a mount made specially for Lowrance and without paying the $59 price tag of an aftermarket plate; which also looked ugly, extending lowing than the hull...

Did some preliminary measurements and broke out the dremel, trimmed away part of the upright braces on the plate and the transducer bracket, which allowed the transducer to move forward so the bracket hole align.

There was no need to secure the back end of the transducer,  because it was held in place by the plate when tightened down one the kayak.

Other than that, that's all it took to mount the  Garmin GT54UHD transducer in the Revo.

General Talk / Re: Lost & Found: Paddle HMB Harbor 11/28
« on: December 12, 2020, 05:28:53 AM »
Sorry for the late response...

Paddle was picked up off the water around 11:15, by the jaws; based on the information you provide, this might not be the one you lost at the ramp...

But if nobody claims it in the next month... its yours..
